I was surprised that I hadn't heard of Celebrate India: Changing Landscapes before. Because it would have been a welcome surprise for anyone with a sense of history... this diary created by Tulika Publishers is one that will find a place in my library... It may be formatted as a diary, but it
is more a book that can be enjoyed as much be adults as by children...

Just three years old, the diaries from this small Chennai-based company – it publishes quality books for children – have carved out a niche for themselves in a crowded, inconsistent market.

The little footprints take you through 2000. Literally. The Celebrate India 2000 diary from Tulika Publishers titled Endings and Beginnings takes you through history, cinema, politics, literature and more, with footprints weaving delicately in and out of the aesthetically laid out book. It is
more than a diary – it is a book too, and a lot of detail and research has gone into its making ...
it is a diary you will keep long after the year 2000 is over and done with.

Just in case you want to know your India of the last 1000 years, you have found your text. It happens to be a diary which has information which ranges from topics like 'straight' history,
cinema, sports and politics and even odd facts ...Excellently produced, Celebrate India 2000 is
truly a storehouse of information.

And there's more...a time-line of dates and events beginning with year 992 runs through the diary; profound photographs by Raghavendra Rao flag off the beginning of every month; and personal memoirs of cultural and academic greats like Girish Karnad, Ramanathan Krishnan
and Amartya Sen give a comprehensive round up of their respective fields. When you get to the basics, clearly demarcated pristine pages sport reminders of important dates ...So, irrespective of your fields of interest, this diary plays the dual role of eye-opener and chronicler. In addition, its vibrant, brick-red hard bound cover with a sturdy book-mark makes it an aesthetic companion.
